Great Super Zoom from Olympus

Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm 1: 4.0-5.6 lens (Four Thirds, 58 mm filter thread) (Electronics)

Customer Review

After I was no longer sufficient, the zoom kit, I decided to purchase the 70-300mm giant. Wow, you then already holds a massive, heavy part in hand - extended again as large.
Quickly made a firmware update to version 1.3, and then release.
Crazy how sharp everything is mapped, even the finest hairs of unripe apricots on the tree can be identified, provided to receive a slight stopping down by a little more depth. As an accessory, there is a big sun visor and a soft case. However, the sun visor has in this narrow pocket then no more space!
At this price we must not grumble, Olympus typical is the workmanship and quality of the lens on a very high level. Unconditional purchase recommendation if you're willing to carry around some extra weight to the camera. Accommodation in a conventional camera bag is due to the diameter and the length of the lens already rather problematic ....
The filter diameter is very pleasant chosen with 58mm since it is identical to that of Zoomkits and so may not reflect additional costs to protect the optics. A good Hoya filter should always remain on the lens but actually as a lens protection, a scratch in the optical system would then make it very unfortunate ...
